Lakeside Dance is the Real Stars

Behind the Scenes of Easter Seals Dancing with the Stars: The Magic of Lakeside Dance

When you hear the name Easter Seals Dancing with the Stars, you might picture a glamorous night of music, lights, and impressive performances—and you’d be right. But what many people don’t realize is what it takes to get there.

This incredible event brings together local business professionals—many with little to no dance experience—who step far outside their comfort zones to perform in front of a live audience, all while raising funds for children with disabilities. And if you’re wondering whether dancing in front of a crowd is nerve-racking… we can confirm—it absolutely is.

That’s where Lakeside Dance comes in.

Behind every confident step, every polished routine, and every smiling performer is the dedication and expertise of Ashley and Adam from Lakeside Dance. Year after year, they invest countless hours transforming a group of enthusiastic beginners into stage-ready performers.

Their role goes far beyond teaching choreography. They build confidence. They calm nerves. They create an environment where participants feel supported and capable—often achieving far more than they ever thought possible. By the time these “celebrities” hit the stage, they’re not just performing—they’re shining.

It’s no small task to take a room full of non-dancers and turn them into a show-stopping cast. But Ashley and Adam do it time and time again, helping make this event not only successful but truly unforgettable.

And it makes you think—if they can do this with a group of first-time performers under pressure… imagine what they could do for you. They can make your wedding first dance, the dance everyone remembers.

Whether you’ve always wanted to learn to dance, improve your skills, or simply try something new, Lakeside Dance offers a range of lessons and events to get you started. From beginner classes to social dance opportunities, there’s something for everyone.
